lyrics
You set your cup down on the sill of the inn Your wool coat still has salt at the cuffs and hem The window held a gray fjord with no wind in We laughed too quickly, then stared at the steam in them Your ring still bites the same finger bone My gloves still smell like cedar and rain We met in the same old harbor stone And nothing moved, except the ache stayed plain Same old hands Same old hands Same old hands Same old hands And that is the hurt of it You still tap ash in the same blue tray I still fold napkins into squares by the plate The clock above us dragged the same slow way And every pause came back with the same old weight Your laugh hit the glass like it did before My mouth knew the shape before I could speak We stood by the coat rack, one step from the door With the same torn hems and the same thin creek Same old hands Same old hands Same old hands Same old hands And that is the hurt of it Outside, the harbor was white with sleet Inside, the kettle climbed to a thin high cry You brushed a crumb from the bread on your seat I saw us leave in the salt of your eye Same old hands Same old hands Same old hands Same old hands And that is the hurt of it
